DIY Farmhouse Table with Extensions

Submitted by katie0910 on Tue, 11/05/2013 - 06:03

We built this farmhouse table a few months ago and absolutely love it. We modified the plans a bit based on another brag post and went with a replica of the Restoration Hardware table. I also built the chairs for the table based on the Parsons chair plans

Really nice job! This was quite an accomplishment, especially given that you guys did additional chairs (that look fantastic). Also, great job documenting on your blog.

The green one was the original built 3 years ago. The red is a recent makeover. I have loved this table since it was built and I love it even more now. This was my first project and I am so happy with it.

I have been looking at your blog and always been interested in making my own furniture. However, I was scared to try. Your diagrams and measurements were awesome. Thank you! Gave me the encouragement to try!
